Buying in Sweden: which legal and tax costs are easiest to miss?

I’m building a closing-cost checklist for a coastal home in Sweden priced at about SEK 4,992,000, and I’m finding that the likely costs depend heavily on how the property is legally held.

Beyond transfer tax and registration fees, should I expect notary or separate legal costs? I also want to understand any ownership restrictions, recurring property charges, and whether residency status affects the purchase or annual tax position. Longer term, I need to ask about capital-gains treatment and inheritance planning.

For anyone who has completed a Swedish purchase: which cost or obligation was missing from the initial estimate, and did the answer differ by ownership structure? I’m looking for specific questions to take to a licensed local professional, rather than personal legal or tax advice.
